Baldrick Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Given only the Premier League & Championship are taking a break for the World Cup 12 Nov-10 Dec, do we think we are likely to be missing any players for a month ? If Scotland qualify, Palmer will probably make the squad, Bannan (unlikely), Paterson (highly unlikely) Luongo if Australia qualify? Unless we sign some internationals in the summer , cant think of any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Palmer would be in the squad, Bannan and Paterson no chance and Luongo probably won't be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 None of our current players will be at the World Cup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't think Palmer has been in the Scotland squad since they qualified for the Euros. I doubt very much he'll be in the Scotland squad should they qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Think some of our players might want to book time off so they can watch it at the pub with their mates instead of sitting on the bench in December at Fleetwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll miss him when he's in Qatar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Wait, so we have to keep playing whilst the World Cup is going off? I know that is usually the case for international weekends but bloody hell. You watching England v Germany later? Nah, Wednesday have got Forest Green mate. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It struck me that they weren’t the actual tournament dates, which are ingrained in my mind! Still seems odd that, the 10th Dec is a QF date, then there’s SF dates afterwards, plus 3rd 4th game & Final. These fixtures could still affect players in the EFL.

I’m assuming a month break is considered long enough and will cover pre tournament travel/ training plus all the group games? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Quite hilarious that we could be in Round 2 of the Papa Johns Trophy the same day as the World Cup Semi Final. Absolutely ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
